Not long after Overwatch 2 released on Steam, we now have Diablo 4 confirmed to be launching on Steam making it easier than ever to play on Steam Deck and desktop Linux.

Another Blizzard game is coming to Steam. I cannot wait until WoW is available so I do not need to use the battle.net client.

    Overwatch on Steam does not require b.net

    Not sure where you get that information from, but the Steam Overwatch store page clearly says this:

    Internet connection and Battle.net® Account required to play. A mobile phone number must be linked to your Battle.net® Account to play Overwatch® 2.

      Not sure where you get that information from

      Probably from playing it themself. Nowhere in the text you linked is stated that you need the client. Only a valid account and internet.

      So no, Overwatch 2 on Steam doesn’t require a secondary launcher. Source: me, I play it on Steam.

        ok, looks like we are talking two different things here…

        Whether it requires a launcher looks to be possibly not the case; however, it still uses battle.net and requires a battle.net account / login
